Honeycomb
Honeycomb · Developer & Infrastructure
Honeycomb is developer-first observability built for high-cardinality queries and distributed tracing. Free forever (20M events/mo + 100M metrics data points, 2 triggers); Pro from $150/mo (up to 750M events + 3.75B metrics data points + SSO + 2 SLOs); Enterprise custom (10B+ events/year base). Includes BubbleUp, Canvas AI Copilot, Honeycomb MCP, agent timeline, and OpenTelemetry-native support.
In other words, Honeycomb is ideal for engineering teams doing distributed-systems debugging at scale who value high-cardinality queries and event-first thinking. Best if predictable event-based pricing beats per-host or per-GB for your workload.
